The Deathless Legion

He spent his first life stopping death. In his second, he will have to deliver it. Xavier Reid was the youngest Chief of Trauma Surgery in his state. He ran his department on cold data, ruthless efficiency, and a simple ethical code: You treat the person in front of you. You never judge the category. After a fatal mistake, he is reborn as Lysandros, the son of a wealthy merchant in ancient Corinth. To comfort a dying man, he swears a vow to tear the Roman empire apart, and salt the earth beneath it. But a child cannot fight an empire. To keep his promise, Lysandros will have to build himself into something the ancient world has never seen. In a world where progression is forged through the brutal precision of the sword, insidious curses, and the transactional blessings of gods, a surgeon must learn how to turn knowledge into power, power into an army, and an army into conquest.
